I was so happy to contribute a teen gift to this toy drive that my friend @prisonculture.bsky.social is co-organizing. Everything is SO EXPENSIVE right now. Let's brighten the holiday for some young folks during this tough time.

This is my set up, too, and I haven’t missed Spotify for even an iota of a second since cancelling a couple years ago.
I'm using Qobuz (and sometimes Apple Music) and it's very easy to port over and Qobuz pays artists more per track

There is a movement to "prove that the datacenter water issues is fake". If you venture into Muskrat's hell site, you can see the community note these people put on this great piece of investigative journalism, accusing them of unfairly implicating datacenters.

The problem with fetishizing the rule of law is that people have to break the law to resist fascism, state violence, and oppression. This has always been true, and is very much the case RIGHT NOW.

I know they say there is no such thing as bad publicity but I’m the type of petty that if your ad interrupts my movie I will remember you and never buy your product/service for as long as I live. I can hold a grudge for a long time and have excellent recall for names (brands) that piss me off.

Chances are, most platforms have support (free and paid) to help you switch platforms.

Ask yourself whether S*bst*ck's "social features" are worth supporting n*zis.
